Rules:

- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then.
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

Shevat, The Wind Is Calling

Pretty strong day, marred by one meh song and another bad one.

-First match is really good, but the winner is clear.
-Second match: See first match. Also, did I say Hidra Heteromycin is one of my favorite discoveries? (No, seriously, I don't remember and I think it is [can't remember the ones I mentioned in R1]... It's also a little too aggresive for my taste, but pretty good nonetheless.))
-Third match felt close.

Not great day overall as the first match is between two songs I dislike. HH is still very good though.

Really good day today. (At least the main bracket. No time to listen to side bracket.) Liked Reflection a lot more this time around for some reason, so i guess I'll vote that. Piano the best.
